Who supervises grand juries or directs their operations?
Strictly speaking, no one is authorized to supervise them. The statute that specifies who grand jurors may turn to for assistance during their terms of service refers to such persons as legal advisors. However, superior court judges are authorized to exercise some authority with respect to the institution. Attempts by other officials, public employees, former grand jurors, or other citizens to control civil grand jurors should be regarded as jury tampering.
